Please consult a Gynaecologist and a General Physician in your area for a physical examination and further management. Many Investigations will be required . Even after all the investigations the true cause may not be found, no question of haphazard treatment by Tele-consultation.

Facial fat accumulation can sometimes be linked to **hormonal imbalances**, such as **thyroid dysfunction, cortisol excess (Cushing’s syndrome), or estrogen fluctuations
### **Possible Causes**
- **Thyroid Issues**: Hypothyroidism can cause fluid retention and facial puffiness.
- **Cortisol Imbalance**: Long-term stress or steroid use can lead to "moon face."
- **Estrogen & Progesterone Changes**: Hormonal shifts, especially during menopause, can affect fat distribution.
- **Insulin Resistance**: Conditions like PCOS or diabetes can contribute to facial fat retention.
Next Steps
Consult for further management
